Anyone going down to DC for the inauguration and march?

I'm looking for a rideshare to DC from MA, but everything I'm finding is just for the Women's March. If I'm going to DC, I'm going to protest my ass off for two full days. I've got a place to stay, but if anyone's driving down, I can contribute gas money and buy you a couple travel meals.

I'm in the Western part of the state but could meet anyone from Eastern Mass in Hartford on the way down.

Please pm me if interested/considering. Thanks!

We're going down on the 20th and back to Boston on the 22nd. I'd hate to be driving down, with those huge crowds. Maybe you can pick up Amtrak in Providence or Hartford?

Looking at Greyhound ( ~$85) but would prefer the company and leg room of a car. But a good idea if I could afford it. Thanks.

the train is then under $100 round trip to NY. Good luck, I hope you make it!

It's saying it's $134 each way. The saver fare is all sold out.

You're right, the cheapest fares are gone. They weren't when I looked two days ago.
